Party,Party,Party Music Video (explanation of symbolism)

Party, Party, Party is a song about a dishonest lover who ventures off to a party with her friends seeking fun, drugs and sex. Yes, it is in fact based on my own experiences.
The music video for Party, Party, Party is very symbolic from the use of dark, cold colours to represent the hollow sadness of having a suspicion of yours being confirmed.
Here I will explain the various symbolisms of the music video for those of you who may not be quite as artistically inclined as myself and the music video's director Bevan Godden.

Scene 1:
In the intro sequence, we have a lioness chasing after a poor, vulrnerable zebra, I'm that little zebra.
The lioness represents the girl being refered to in the song, lionesses are known to stalk their prey silently before attacking them, as is the case with infidelity-a silent killer, but once it's out there, it kills you.

Scene 2:


 The tidal wave is representative of all the emotions that seem to crash down when one is aware of their partner's infidelity.

Scene 3:

The eclipse represents time and night.

Scene 4:

The mountain slope represents drugs or a 'slope'.

Scene 5:


These seals represent the girl and her fellowship of friends, seals travel in large groups hunting and looking for adventure-just like girls.

Scene 6:
The bhudda statue is meant to represent a state of euphoria which often accompanies a high of any sort.

Scene 7:


The flowers represent feminism.

Scene 8:
You can probably guess what this scene represents.

I hope you now understand the concept of this music video better, if you haven't already watched then you can view it here:
